  1. That pic was from Ohlone College Z-fest from august of this year. I don't even know where evergreen college is, so, probably not
  2. you know what I love seeing? A 4th gen camaro owned by a teamster/union member that has a bumpersticker on it saying "SUPPORT US JOBS - BUY AMERICAN CARS" if you know where the f-body was assembled, you'll get the joke
  3. I agree. I've bought plenty of stuff online and via phone order on my credit card. Fortunately (knock on wood), having owned a visa for 5 years, I've never had to file a dispute against a company. If I ordered something wrong, I'd either return it, or if the shipping costs were too much, I just sold it off at a small loss to me. My last return was kind of funny. I was pre-ordering Indiana Jones trilogy on dvd from amazon.com, and they had a link to another dvd site that had it listed for $15 cheaper than other places. Nowhere in the fine print did it say that this would be an order from Hong Kong, and the trilogy would be laserdisk versions ripped and burned onto DVDs. I realized it after submitting an order, and asked if I could cancel the order. The pirated dvd set already shipped, but the guy emailed me back saying to deny the shipment, return it back across the atlantic, and he'll refund me the money. I was skeptical, because if I return it, I'm out $35 bucks including shipping, and nothing to show for it. But, I gave it a chance, and emailed him back telling him that I denied shipment (which I did). True enough, next day on my online banking statement there was a credit for the money I paid, exact refund including cost of shipping. Props to him for excellent customer service, despite the fact that it would've been easy as pie to rip me off since I can't do anything to a guy across the world. (and no, I didn't want illegal copies of the product. I ordered the right set the next day, and now I have the official remastered trilogy at home. and it's good quality, go buy it!) -alex
  4. Lightning strikes Gibson's Christ Friday, October 24, 2003 Posted: 12:04 PM EDT (1604 GMT) ROME, Italy -- Actor Jim Caviezel, who plays the son of God in Mel Gibson's controversial film "The Passion of Christ" has been struck by lightning during shooting. Caviezel was uninjured, but a producer described how he saw smoke coming from the actor's ear. An assistant director on the film, Jan Michelini, was also hit -- for the second time in a few months. The first time, a lightning fork struck his umbrella during filming on top of a hill near Matera in Italy, causing light burns to the tips of his fingers, VLife, a supplement to Variety publications said in its October issue. A few months later the second strike happened, a few hours from Rome. Michelini was again carrying an umbrella, and standing next to Caviezel on top of a hill, the magazine said. Both were hit, with the main bolt striking Caviezel while one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella. Neither were hurt. The film, which is spoken in Latin and Aramaic, has come in for criticism from some religious leaders. It portrays the last hours of Christ, but some Jewish and Roman Catholic groups are concerned the film will fuel anti-Semitism. http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/24/gibson.passion/index.html
  5. why build? you can import the 20b from a 98+ mazda cosmo sedan bigwhytedude: yeah, it's a 3 rotor 2 liter rotary, with a turbo for each exhaust port.
  6. they're all the same, just different angles
  7. not really. probably doesn't spool turbos until 6k rpm... but I'm going to guess over 600hp easy 20b tri turbo...and those aren't small turbos
  8. my threads were just some of the 40+ replies i got just for typing in "kyb" for basic search. I am sure one can probably do a whole lot better if they put more than 10 sec of work into it
  9. tokico illuminas won't handle springs over 300lb/in

  11. the answer is definite maybe your question is too broad and vague. please formulate into a specific question or use the search function
  12. thanks John I feel warm and fuzzy now geez, turning out to be an expensive diff. is it worth it still overall, as far as the rarity of hte 192 goes?
  13. <john coffey> only use nissan oem balljoints </john coffey> I got mine (moog units) from p-s-t with the front end kit. balljoints, tie rods, bushings cost me 180
  14. Alsil did this on his Z: http://zcar.netdojo.com/steering.htm
  15. Does that seem.....wrong, perhaps, to you?
  16. yeah, some great help you were. remind me not to count on you for any support: you'd probably laugh and run for a camcorder if i caught fire!
  17. just a heads up guys, my daily driver is a neon r/t
  18. according to some moron at neons.org http://www.neons.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=133407 of course, nothing says load of power and manly lines like the owner's neon: Which happens to be SOHC automatic base model neon. Basically, the slowest neon you can buy, and since it's a 95, it's also the crappiest. Nothing says FAST! like clear tail lights, wannabe R/T stripes (he calls it the wannabe R/T, which were only offerred in dohc 150hp versions with manual performance transmission only), and gawdy wheels.
  19. if the guy can find a buyer for 7900, kudos to him. But I have a feeling he's going to be selling for a long time at that price. The only cars that would go for 8grand are zx-rs in mint condition
